A Woman to Hang.
[FrOm Hickory Carolinian.

Mary J. Crosan, alias Barrier, a white
woman, was convicted of the murder of
her four -year-old mulatto son and SEN
fenced to death in Mitchell court last week
Last January she took the child four miles
from home to Toe River, tied its hands
behind it, and its feet together and put it
under the Ice. We witnessed her arraign-
ment and never before have we seen bra
zen wickedness so nearly assume the ap-
pearance of innocence. She spoke out the
words mot Guilty" with clearness and
an air of Indifference that was heard all
over the court room and caused many to
doubt her guilt. She has no doubt had a
fair trial, has been found guilty of the
most fiendish murder and she should suf-

April has proven unkind. The

suffered less than those of the
farmers where the trees are more

The trip made by Ed. Cowley on

with his horses shod with snow
shoes, was very successfully ac-
complished. The shoes on the ami
mails worked to a charm, and they
logged along over the snow with
hardly leaving the impression of
their tracks. 1t is wonderful how
quick horse will adapt itself to
the gait required when wearing
snowshoes. Mr.. Cowley started
out early in the morning, and re-
turned the next day, having de-
livered his load in good shape.
Next winter he proposes to go any
where desired, regardless of snow.

DR.. Bean and Sheriff Taylor re-

on Tuesday evening, having been
just six days on the trip. They
were able to go within three or four
miles Of the place with their horses
but had to go on foot, and it being
in the afternoon the snow was soft.
They found the bodies consider
ably decomposed, as the weather
has been quite warm during the

portion of that of Capt. Winn,

NHiSoSo 4NS"S'
An amusing story comes to us
from the far west. For long time
an outlaw named Roach the Terror
had been the scourge of the noun
tain districts of Idaho, and last
month he waylaid and proceeded
to rob one Bivens, wealthy gen.
tleman who was travelling through
the territory on mining business.
While the two were thus employed
the one in robbing and the other
in being robbed-they suddenly
became aware of the approach of a
mountain lion, one of those stealthy
cruel monsters that inhabit and
lay waste the fastness of the Rocky
mountain region. Roach immed-
lately dropped his booty and skin
ned up tree as nimbly as ever he
could; and the other man followed
him up the tree with marked
alacrity, not even stopping to pick
up his property, which Roach had
dropped. The fierce lion, Haunting
it's tail savagely, licking its hide
Gus fangs and rolling its CLASSY
eyeballs suggestively, looked up at
the two men in the tree and pre-
pared to join them.
"Have you a pistol?" asked
Roach the Terror.
"No; but in my belt l carry a
knife fourteen inches long," said
Bivens, the traveller.
"Then suppose you stick that
knife into the crittcr when he
reaches out for us" suggested the
Terror:
eyes, but if leave the knife in
the hon." said Bivens, "and if he
falls with it, what protection have |
against you? No, I'll keep the
knife and you shoot the critter with
that pistol"
eyes, but supposing l do shoot
him." said Roach, ''what protec-
ton have l against your knife when
my pistol is empty"
Meanwhile the lion was coming
up the tree with alarming rapidity.
He seemed to grow three feet every
way as he advanced foot by foot.
"Unless we can come to COM
said Roach, "the varmit
will eat us both. Let's agree to
this: You stab him and I'll shoot
him-at any rate, either we folks
or that critter has got to die P'
"That's So" said Bivens, "and I'll
accept the compromise"
So when the lion got within range
Roach blazed away at it, and Biv-
ems reached down and drove his
knife clean up to the hilt in the
breast. The lion fell to
the ground with bullet in his
head and eleven inches of steel in
his lungs. Then Roach and
Bivens descended from the tree.
They had escaped so narrowly that
they could not be other than
friends. Each was indebted to
